My calling...?

I think I may have figured mine out...my calling that is... can one actually do that?! :)

I want to be a teacher, I'm learning to be one. :) I'm feeling fairly confident about that role. But, I want to be more than that...I want to be a good person who does and sees the good in others. I'm not perfect but neither is anyone else...we're all human, have the same worth...

All these things are coming together for me recently and I'm still not sure what it all means, where it will all take me but I'm trying to "go with the flow" because I don't feel all that in control of the situation (as I'd like to be). I feel gently but firmly urged, nudged into a place that feels both scary and yet so obvious...

....

I don't know...maybe I've just finally grown up or something but for the first time (ever?) I feel an urge to do something, to use my voice and embrace me - all that I know (and have been told) I am but have been fighting against... Gosh! Sounds like total gibberish doesn't it!? As I said, I don't really know what I'm in right now but I'm fairly certain I'll keep on going right into it.

Weird...

This wasn't really how I'd thought this post would turn out, I thought that I would be able to be a bit more specific but apparently not.

Solidarity

It thought that I'd already shared this here but when I went looking for it it was "gone"... ;) :D So...here it is "again". ;P

"Solidarity is not a matter of altruism. Solidarity comes from the inability to tolerate the affront to our own integrity of passive or active collaboration in the oppression of others, and from the deep recognition of our most expansive self-interest. From the recognition that, like it or not, our liberation is bound up with that of every other being on the planet, and that politically, spiritually, in our heart of hearts we know anything else is unaffordable."

Here in Sweden we're coming up on election soon (Sept. 19th) and to be honest with you, the policies the opposing parties are presenting are almost too similar to tell them apart. "Pest eller kolera?" we say in Swedish (transl. to plague or cholera?) when it's a choice between two uncomfortable options.

BUT! The ideological differences are still there - how people/humanity is viewed and I can not vote for those who exclude rather than include!
This is my penny's worth about politics and it's about all you'll hear me say. :)

Eid Mubarak.
